Do you ever wonder why Nebuchadnezzar set up the golden image to be worshipped? Or why so many nations in the past required religious uniformity and unity? In this episode of Sermon B-Sides, Pastor Jon and Pastor Rusten consider how tyrants try to strengthen their state through the use of religious unity, particularly how Nebuchadnezzar tries to do so in Babylon. They also talk about modern Christians' tendency to bow the knee to the idolatrous state by accepting a kind of private pietism and limiting the jurisdiction of our faith.
We hope you enjoy, and as usual, if you have any questions for Sermon B-Sides—or anything else for that matter—e-mail us at pastor@coramdeochurch.org.
